Jade, this is so fascinating. I turned to it after I wrote that long comment about the Valdez oil spill and was remembering all the images and feelings and she was clearly turning clockwise, not even a question right-brained. But then, I stopped to read the instructions and as I was trying to decipher them, she was spinning counter-clockwise suddenly, out of the corner of my eye. That always interest me about reading and writing, how they are both, but I know for sure that the writer’s blocks I get into are because I get stuck in left brain mode due to anxiety and can’t shift gears into right. This is so interesting. I would love to post about this as well at some point, if that’s ok with you. I want to take a little more time to think about it. Thanks so much.

Gah, I hate that dancer. I absolutely cannot see it going anything other than anticlockwise. I try gazing at different bits, looking away and looking back, and she still spins determinedly in one direction. I am creatively doomed!

But HOW do you switch? I couldn’t do it no matter how hard I tried. I tried to imagine her going counterclockwise, looked at her feet, her hands, the shadows, the print… nothing worked. I’m hopelessly stuck in right brain.
